{"title":"ArduSat Prototyping Module","handle":"ardusat-prototyping-module","url":"/products/ardusat-prototyping-module","description":"The ArduSat Prototyping Module is a gold-plated PCB used to hand-assemble early prototypes of the first two ArduSat satellites launched into space in 2013. A limited number remain from that original production run — own a piece of Arduino and space history.\n\nBuild a custom CubeSat satellite module by combining your own sensors and components with this prototyping board. Mechanically compliant with CubeSat specifications, it's ideal for ground-based prototyping, high-altitude balloon (HAB) flights, and sounding-rocket experiments.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nGold-Plated PCB – ENIG (electroless nickel immersion gold) connections for reliable conductivity\n\n651-Hole Prototyping Area – All holes separate for maximum layout flexibility\n\nCubeSat Bus Breakout – Individual connections for GND, 5 V, and 3.3 V rails linked to the CubeSat bus\n\nStackable Connectors – H1 and H2 CubeSat bus connectors with 0.1\" spacing, 104 pins total\n\nCubeSat Compliant – Meets CubeSat specifications for hole locations, outer dimensions, and vertical interconnect clearances\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nDimensions – 95.45 × 90.3 mm\n\nPCB Material – FR4 fibreglass (requires out-gassing before vacuum use)\n\nPCB Connections – ENIG (electroless nickel immersion gold)\n\nBare PCB Mass – 25 g\n\nConnector Mass (pair) – 15 g\n\nTotal Assembled Mass – 42 g (including solder)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nCubeSat prototyping and experimental hardware development\nHigh-altitude balloon (HAB) and sounding-rocket flight testing\nGround-based testing before ArduSat mission deployment\nSpace and Arduino enthusiasts looking for a collectible piece of satellite history\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× ArduSat Prototyping Module PCB\n1× Pair of CubeSat bus connectors (unsoldered)\n\n\nResources\n\nArduSat Website\nCubeSat Website\nASPM Design Files on GitHub\n","vendor":"Freetronics","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":5358,"title":"Default Title","sku":"FT-ASPM","price":5.83,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
